Duncan Edwards

Duncan Edwards manages the Disability Horizons Shop, where he focuses on sourcing practical, well-designed products that improve everyday life for disabled people. His work reflects lived experience rather than distant theory, shaped by family, not policy. His wife Clare, an artist and designer, co-founded Trabasack, best known for its original lap desk bag. After sustaining a spinal injury, Clare became a wheelchair user. That change brought a sharper perspective to her design work and turned personal need into creative drive. Trabasack grew from that focus — making useful, adaptable products that support mobility and independence. Their son Joe lives with Dravet syndrome, a rare and complex form of epilepsy. His condition brings day-to-day challenges that few families encounter, but it has also sharpened Duncan’s eye for what’s truly useful. From feeding aids to communication tools, he knows how the right product can make a small but vital difference. These experiences shape the decisions he makes as shop manager. It’s why he pays close attention to detail, asks hard questions about function and accessibility, and chooses stock with a deep awareness of what people actually need. Duncan’s role in the disability community is grounded, not performative. He doesn’t trade in vague ideals — he deals in things that work, because he’s spent years living with what doesn’t.
